Yeah i have gotten a bunch of great advice, and i've been playing for a little over a year. Like i said before im going to the range tomorrow so ill get more videos up and hopefully ill be heading in the right direction. again, thanks to everyone for the advice i really appreciate it.

that seems like a great breakdown thank you very much. If the weather permits ill be back at the range tomorrow ad will get some more videos, I know my swing won't be perfect but hopefully ill be heading in the right track

i realized both of those problems actually, especially my arms at the top, but for some reason i couldnt fix it, i felt like i wasnt swinging far back at all if i didnt swing like that. any tips on how to keep my swing less steep?

yeah i definitely see what all of you guys are saying, and thanks for the help uttexas- are you saying i need to bring the club more across in my back/forwards swing? and keep my head and rest of the body more steady?

Alright so i was able to use my friends phone today to get some videos of my swing. The videos aren't the best quality but its better than nothing i guess. I've realized recently that my swing was very steep so today i was trying to bring the club more across and not just straight up, and i was actually hitting a lot better then usual. I was making more solid contact and going more through the ball then down into it. Although im sure theres a ton of things wrong with my swing the one thing i know felt wrong was at the top of my backswing, something just didn't feel right. One of these videos is with my hybrid and the other with my 7 iron. I have never had lessons or anything so I'm sure theres a lot of shit wrong lol but any help is GREATLY appreciated! let me have it! Thanks!!!!

okay i see, i appreciate all of the help and im definitely going to try doing this

ahhh i see sorry that im asking so many questions i would just really like to try to improve this and my game are you saying that im releasing my right wrist too early in my downswing? if so when should my wrist be "released"

ill definitely try keeping my hands more passive, but what exactly do you mean by my timing being off?

Alright thanks ill definitely try that out the next time I'm at the range. And my dovots are after the ball they just seem too deep. Thanks again!

yeah sorry i dont have a video camera :/ But thanks for the response, what would fix that problem?

So i played today for the first time in about 5 months. For some reason my drives/hybrid shots were staying really low with a slight slice. Ive had the slice problem before but my drives were NEVER this low. They were maybe 15 feet in the air, and although they were carrying decently it just wasn't making sense to me. Another problem i was having was with my irons I am hitting a lot of fat shots, and taking too big of divots that are slowing down my swing. If anyone could give me help i would appreciate it greatly! Thanks in advance!

Alright so I went to the range today and tried some new things and also what you mentioned and it worked a little but still not back to normal. I noticed my left arm (I'm a righty) is bent a lot on my backswing and idk if that's too good. If anyone could help that'd be great, thanks

Yeah that definitely could be my problem, I'll try out what you told me for sure and I'll see if it helps. Thanks a lot for the help

Yeah i figured its too much divot i just dont know what could cause that problem, thanks though

Hey everyone im having some problems with my irons and ive tried adjusting a couple things but just cant figure it out so ive turned to all of you. I used to hit my long irons great and then out of no where one day at the range i started taking divots. I know divots are supposed to be good but my club speed slows down tremendously so im guessing thats not a good thing. my shots were a lot better without taking divots but i dont know what i changed. im taking divots with my short irons as well but the shots are still good if not better and my club movement isnt slowed down nearly as much. Its weird too because i just dont hit my long irons (4 mainly) far anymore. Ive thought it could maybe be how far away im standing from the ball but i really dont know. any help is greatly appreciated!! thanks in advance!!
